Milton Abbey. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDDC| Here grandeur triumphs at its topmost pitch | A |
| In gardens groves and all that life beguiles | B |
| Here want too meets a blessing from the rich | A |
| And hospitality for ever smiles | B |
| Soldier or sailor from his many toils | B |
| Here finds no cause to rail at pomp and pride | C |
| He shows his scars and talks of battle's broils | B |
| And wails his poverty and is supplied | C |
| No dogs bark near the fainting wretch to chide | C |
| That bows to misery his aged head | D |
| And tells how better luck did once betide | C |
| And how he came to beg his crust of bread | D |
| Here he but sighs his sorrows and is fed | D |
| Mansion of wealth by goodness dignified | C |
